James C. Thomas was born in Mississippi in 1941 to an 18-year-old
sharecropper. He didn't know his biological father until he was 15.
A high school dropout, he grew up in dire poverty in the pre-Civil
Rights south, chopping and picking cotton for ten hours a day,
eight months of the year. Yet Thomas overcame these difficult
beginnings to enjoy a successful career in government service and
business. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison at
age 33, went to work for the Madison city government as the first
black assistant mayor in the city's history. He later opened
Madison's first African-American art gallery and with his family
started a multi-service pain management and treatment center in
metropolitan Milwaukee. Thomas and his wife Yvonne, married for 52
years, have four children, eight grandchildren, and three great
grandchildren. This book is an honest look at being black in this
country. Thomas faced many hardships as a poor boy growing up in
1950s Mississippi, and his struggles didn't end when he moved to
the north and began his professional career. But this is also a
story of hope and perseverance-about how one man never gave up,
overcame tremendous odds, and achieved the American Dream.
